Lines With Arrow Heads 1

[dsuelflow]

OK, it's that time of the quarter and I need to produce an actual drawing... Is there a way to draw a line/arc/spline with an arrowhead on the end (that is not a note)? If not and I have to cheat by putting an empty note (with leader) on the end of the line, how do I adjust the size of the arrowhead?

The only way that I can think of would be by creating a block...

Right mouse click in view, annotations, Multi-jog leader. Pick points. It will create two leader arrows. Right-click on one of them, change it to a straight line.

Draw the leader as Ctopher said..........then right click on arrow head of which you want to increase the size.......last option should be size(in SWX 2008) & shange the size as desired........

You won't be able to change the arrow head size on the note... unless you want all of your notes to have the same arrow size. The block, as Jeff pointed out may be your only way.

you can change the arrow head size of a single arrow.....try what I have written before.

Draw the leader ..........then right click on arrow head of which you want to increase the size.......last option in list should be size(in SWX 2008) & shange the size as desired........

I cannot find the (right click) options you speak of... I think the next release should be only improvements in the drawing platform.

You need to hover on the very tip of the arrow. The cursor should change to show the multi-jog leader with a tiny green square, and then right-click.

...and all I get is this...

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

Zoom in and make sure you are only right-clicking when the hover icon shows the little green square.

If you still get the same result, you may need to get your VAR involved, or try resetting the registry.

What version and SP of SW are you using?

Does this help?

Ahhhh... The little green square. Thanks.
